Hey. Hi. Hello.

You’ve been sent here because you have, whether knowingly or not, committed a grave sin in communicating. It’s nothing personal.

You may find the following useful as a refresher:

BRIEF

B (Background): Provide a quick context—what prompted the message?

R (Reason): Explain why you’re speaking now—why should they pay attention?

I (Information): Provide two to three key nuggets of information you want to share. What are the bullet points of the conversation?

E (End): Decide on what note you want to leave the conversation

F (Follow-up): Consider the questions you anticipate the recipient will ask you when you finish speaking and prepare answers in advance

Now, if there’s something I can help you with, let’s try again.

In any event, be well!
